Report: Israel warned Kenya about terror attack

(Times of Israel) Kenya was reportedly given specific warnings by foreign countries, including Israel, that there was a high risk of a major terrorist attack in the country before last week’s violent takeover of Nairobi’s Westgate Mall.

Israel told the Kenyan government specifically that Iran and Hezbollah would try to hit Israeli-owned targets during the September Jewish holidays, one report said.

The Westgate Mall, partly owned by Israelis, was reportedly cited in at least one warning.
